After Becoming a Kept Woman

Please read the guide first

Mo Qing, a cold and distant guild leader with overwhelming combat power, brings someone home.

Aside from being devastatingly beautiful, this person is useless at everything. He can't kill monsters, and he's a coward to boot. Whenever they run into a monster, all he can do is hide behind Mo Qing and whimper.

And yet this very person eats, sleeps, and travels alongside Mo Qing.

Everyone is baffled.

Until one day, their team is surrounded by a horde of monsters and humans. Mo Qing can't take them all on alone, and is about to be beheaded.

Then the person who always whimpers and hides behind Mo Qing steps in front of him. He raises a hand gently, and in an instant, every monster is wiped out.

Everyone: "..."

Shi Si: "Anyone who dares touch you, I'll kill."

Mo Qing: "If anyone wants you, they'll have to step over my dead body."

(The outwardly timid, weak, whimpering monster / the outwardly powerful, aloof guild leader)
